I am glad that you have not listened to Airu in a dark time. Imagine you've just broken your partner or lost a nearby album. Alejandra Pizarni could resurrect her. Around sadness, and a piece made from sadness, seems minimalist With good and grief. And it's a journey: the journey of grief.

They come from Bilbao the ones from the Air, and I have to recognize that I related the group to the modern and arty tremor that causes me a little discomfort. However, the second good hearing has allowed me to enjoy a slim and careful multilayered and nostalgic dream-pop. It's one of those stories of sadness and joy.

It counts, own-n, silences the battery and the bass and weighs the letter. He proposes how to release knots in the face of the enormous communication problems that occur in partner relationships (above all): “Do you see something coming out of you to tell you?”
Because that's the same thing. How do you heal your wounds? It surprises the weight of songs in pop culture in grief processes. The melodies are nailed to people and we cannot leave them unresurrected. Despite being healed, “only now I have stayed with the good and with the action.” The group has sung this time only in Spanish, where previously English was the majority language, and although it is in Spanish, the title of the songs is a phrase



like this: “Seeing you behind your back is a lockdown. I put my feet on, it's for your good. And so far: tell me, tell me, tell me beyond, what do you know about me? How long do you say it will last? I try to look as if I didn’t have another chance: to dance

on my back.” I wish our society didn't need anxiolytics, psychoanalysts and pop groups for the duels. Hopefully, community rituals would be strengthened and we would have control over everyday life, collectively facing our personal problems and all the traumas that produce heteronorms, racist systems and wage work. Meanwhile, a little tontipop can help ease grief. And listen, that's nothing short.
